Leicester City have scheduled a medical for 16‑year‑old wonderkid Jeremy Monga, the latest move in a transfer window that also sees Henry Cartwright leave and Logan Briggs head out on loan. The Foxes sit 23rd in the Championship with 46 points from 12 wins, 16 draws and 18 defeats, recent form WDDLL.

Who is Jeremy Monga and what does his move mean?

Monga, a highly‑rated midfielder from the academy, is set to join Premier League side Manchester City for a reported £12.5 million. The deal includes a sell‑on clause that benefits Leicester City should the player later move again. If the medical goes smoothly, the 16‑year‑old could become the youngest Foxes‑produced player to command a seven‑figure fee. His technical ability and vision have already drawn interest from Arsenal, but Leicester’s scouting department secured the agreement first.

Which players are exiting Leicester City this summer?

The first departure was confirmed on Friday when midfielder Henry Cartwright signed for League One side Bradford City. Cartwright, a product of the Foxes’ youth system, posted a heartfelt thank‑you on social media, noting 13 years with the club. Meanwhile, academy forward Logan Briggs has joined Northampton Town on a season‑long loan, hoping to gain senior experience before breaking into Leicester’s first team. Both moves free up squad spots as the club reshapes its roster for a promotion push.

Is there a chance Leicester City could lose goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu?

Reports suggest Derby County are eyeing a deal for goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, who previously worked with Russell Martin at Southampton. Derby’s interest comes as they scout for a replacement for Jakob Widell Zetterstrom. Leicester’s management has not confirmed any negotiations, but the rumor adds another layer of uncertainty to the Foxes’ goalkeeping options ahead of pre‑season fixtures.

What staff changes are on the horizon for the Foxes?

Manager Enzo Maresca is reportedly close to appointing former Barnsley boss Conor Hourihane as his new assistant, while fitness coach Rhys Owen is set to stay on. Additionally, MK Dons goalkeeping coach Tom Weal is being considered for a backroom role. These appointments aim to bolster the coaching set‑up as Leicester City strives to improve on a season that has seen them concede 68 goals while scoring 58, leaving them 49 points behind leaders Coventry.

Leicester City’s transfer activity reflects a club trying to balance immediate needs with long‑term development. The Monga medical could be a landmark signing, while departures and loan moves free up resources for potential reinforcements in defence and midfield. As pre‑season ramps up, the Foxes will need to turn their recent WDDLL form around if they hope to climb out of the relegation zone.
